*The Archers thread

[Mrs Magpie]

two sheds, you're the wrong demographic! It's supposed to be pulling in those of the ages of Pip, Tom, Jazzer & Fallon...not hardened Archers listeners of a certain age who are scrabbling round for a further illicit Archers fix....

 

[two sheds]

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Don't tell two sheds but I've been doing a bit of illicit listening on i-Player meself, although for ages I thought they'd axed it because it never came up on i-Player search....I eventually twigged it wasn't called "Archers Extra"

 

[wiskey]

Anybody else started to get into Ambridge Extra after the episodes with Clive? Horobin being picked up by the police, followed by the hunt-the-funeral-clue and now Alan and the theft accusation?

Yes to police, lost interest at the funeral bit, what's happening now?

 

[wiskey]

What have I missed about Pip?

 

[two sheds]

Alan's been accused of thieving

*awed hush*

Well don't come crying to me if you can't think of anything to say round the water cooler.

Artichoke has.

She didn't tell me she was listening.

Just one day she dropped it into conversation, casual as you like, that she knew what'd been happening in Liverpool.

 

[vauxhallmum]

my name is vm and i am a secret ambridge extra addict

 

[weltweit]

When will Lilian be caught ..... it has to happen!

 

[wiskey]

soon preferably! can't take much more of her snivveling

 

[a_chap]

Unfaithfulness is the very worst betrayal of all.

 

[ChrisD]

I hope she leaves her mobile around with all the evidence on it.... then perhaps matt will bury her in the foundations of their latest joint venture...nor sure who I dislike most lilian or matt ?

 

[susie12]

That Paul redefines snivelling and smarminess.

 

[wiskey]

Meanwhile I'm actually quite liking the nice Matt.

*shudders*

I once nearly went out with a christian woman who had been married to a real arsehole, but he restrained himself so that she'd like him. Apparently he broke down after six months because the strain of being nice to people got too much for him.

Mrs SFM and I are heartily sick of her carrying on* - and for the scriptwriters for drawing it out so long. Oh - and Pip is really getting on my tits as well

* It might just be me but radio love scenes/sounds make my flesh crawl a bit...

 

[wiskey]

*shudders*

even nasty people aren't nasty ALL the time. If they hadn't written that he has the capacity to be nice Lillian wouldn't be in a quandary and would just leg it with Paul.

 

[belboid]

Paul's a weirdo freak. Mark my words, he has all the hallmarks of a classic stalker.

didn't his 'I'll do all the running' bit give you the creeps?!

 

[belboid]

absolutely, I was getting almost scared for Lillian. She will never be free of him.

 

[susie12]

He seems to have no life of his own, no friends etc, yeah classic stalker.

 

[pseudonarcissus]

I don't trust the new intensive dairyman either, he's going to be trouble, mass grave to be found on a canadian farm? Is Jenny too old for one last love child?

Perhaps that is why Lilian does not leave and set up with him!

He is just a rampant sexist.....

Can I just check - this is the same Matt who as landlord recently caused the death of an elderly tenant by purposefully having his workman leave the house in a dangerous condition, subsequently forcing the elderly wife to move out to free up the house so that Matt could rent it out for a higher amount? It's all on tape remember, pusscat.
